HI-TEC PLUMBING
Plumber in Hillcrest

Plumbing is the system of pipes and drains installed in a building for the distribution of potable drinking water and the removal of waterborne wastes, and the skilled trade of working with pipes, tubing and plumbing fixtures in such systems. A plumber is someone who installs or repairs piping systems, plumbing fixtures and equipment such as water heaters. The plumbing industry is a basic and substantial part of every developed economy due to the need for clean water, and proper collection and transport of wastes. Hi-Tec Plumbing supplies and install new geysers and replaces burst geysers. Sacrificial anodes in Geysers are THE key component influencing the life expectancy of your geyser. Hi-Tec Plumbing maintains geysers ensuring a long life for your geyser. A geyser will fail completely due to a manufacturing fault, corrosion and rust. All geysers will corrode and will eventually fail to work at all. A geyser cylinder is filled with water and together with an electrical current; it will be subjected to an electrolytic process called electrolysis. When two metals are connected in water, one will corrode away sacrificing itself. The life of the anode rod is determined by various factors such as the quality of the water and the minerals contained in the water, the use of hot water and the temperature setting and the hardness of the water all affect its life. Magnesium is formed around a steel core which will become exposed as the magnesium corrodes. If no magnesium is present your cylinder has started corroding. The corroding anode leads to the formation of magnesium sulphate which settles at the bottom of the cylinder. Also formed as sediment that looks like sand is calcium carbonate that precipitates out of the water at high temperature. Hot water cylinders should be serviced annually, something which seldom occurs. Leaks and corrosion becomes evident and the cylinder should be drained and flushed to remove sediment. The Heat Tech products are designed by Stuart Thompson who designed the first Dual geyser for Kwikot in the 1980s. Low pressure losses because of the smooth surfaces, which do not allow the deposit of stone layer on the pipe walls, turbulences or friction. They are completely nontoxic and in compliance with standards for the transfer of potable water. They reduce the risk of condensation to a minimum, which is the characteristic of the metal installation. In addition, when compared to traditional materials like steel and copper, far less energy is used in the production of the raw material and in the manufacture of pipe. PPR is a bi-product of oil and thus involves no specific mining activities to obtain the raw material.
